Zach Mettenberger said his shoulder is 100 percent healthy.

Mettenberger missed the final three games of the season with a separated AC joint. He has already begun throwing and should be good to go for the entire offseason program. With Tennessee unlikely to select a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick, Mettenberger is the favorite to open 2015 as the Titans' starter. Feb 21 - 12:49 PM

At the Combine Wednesday, GM Ruston Webster stopped short of committing to Zach Mettenberger as the Titans' 2015 starter.

Webster said "we like the player, we like Zach," but stated the Titans are "not committing to anything now." Armed with the No. 2 overall pick, the Titans have no incentive to show their hand before the draft. Their roster is the weakest in football and they should be hoping to trade down. All indications out of Nashville are that the Titans plan to start Mettenberger in 2015. Feb 18 - 12:20 PM

The Nashville Tennessean reiterates that "early indications" are the Titans will stick with Zach Mettenberger as their 2015 quarterback and bypass signal callers at the top of May's draft.

This move would set up Tennessee to select USC DL Leonard Williams with the No. 2 overall pick. Mettenberger flashed a big arm and pocket composure as a rookie, but is athletically challenged and erratic enough that emerging as more than a low-end starter seems unlikely. With the Buccaneers expected to draft Jameis Winston at No. 1, it's also possible the Titans simply aren't enthralled with Oregon's Marcus Mariota. Feb 15 - 5:13 PM

The Nashville Tennessean's Jim Wyatt sees Zach Mettenberger as the "leading candidate" to be the Titans' starting quarterback in 2015.

Wyatt does expect Mettenberger to face "added competition," though it's another sign the Titans are high on last year's sixth-rounder. They believe he can be a legitimate NFL starter. "Mett" finished his first NFL season 107-of-179 passing (59.8 percent) for 1,412 yards (7.89 YPA) and an 8:7 TD-to-INT ratio. Tue, Dec 30, 2014 08:49:00 AM

Speaking Monday, coach Ken Whisenhunt said the Titans need to get Dexter McCluster more involved next season.

To put it bluntly, this would not be one of our takeaways from the Titans' season. McCluster is a mediocre role player, one who averaged 3.27 yards per carry and 7.6 yards per catch in 2014. The fact that he was one of the jewels of the Titans' free agent class is emblematic of everything that's been wrong with the team during the Ruston Webster era at general manager. Webster has been a disaster in free agency, and scarcely better in the draft.
